Banana Bus Circus

Sorrow

Brian's Pov

I woke up to hear my phone ringing. I looked at the clock and yawned.

"Parker? What's up. It's like 2 in the morning," I said tiredly. I sat up in bed. I tried to stay quiet. Craig and I decided to share a hotel room. It was decent sized. Two beds, a small couch, kitchen and bathroom.

     "Please can you come pick me up? I'm at the Pink Lady club on Front beach," She said letting out a sob. I got up and put on a shirt grabbing my car keys.

     "I'll be there as fast as possible," I said. I walked out of the hotel and to the parking garage. I hopped in my car and started driving. Luckily, our hotel was on front beach so I knew where the club was. I pulled in the parking lot and looked around. I checked my phone.

P: "I'm in the back lot,"

     I pulled around back and saw someone sitting against the wall hugging their knees. I parked and walked up to her.

    "What happened?" I said helping her up. She had make up dripping down from where she was crying.

     "I had to fill in tonight and..." she started crying again. I helped her to the car. I put her in the seat and walked over to the driver.

    "We can talk about it when we get to your hotel if you want," I said. She shook her head.

     "C-can I please just stay with you tonight?" She said. I nodded and started driving back.

     When we got back to the room Craig was sitting up yawning.

    "There you are dude! Wait woah what happened?" He said walking over to us. I showed Parker over to the couch and she sat down wiping her eyes off.

     "I had to fill in tonight at the club. And I was hanging out with Tyler. Well last time I filled in these creeps followed me home and tried to....do things. Tyler came with me to the club so that wouldn't happen. Well I did my show and made some cash. I got changed and walked to where Tyler had been sitting. And he was kissing Bitchy Britney!" She said starting to tear up again. My eyes widened. Tyler wasn't the kind of guy to cheat. Maybe he got drunk. Even though I liked Parker I wouldn't wish that this would happen. Craig was getting the pint of chocolate ice cream we bought and a spoon. He handed it to her and she smiled a little.

      "If you don't mind me asking why didn't you want me to take you back to your hotel room?" I asked.

     "Tyler and I share a room," she said eating the ice cream. I nodded and grabbed the spare blanket from the closet.

     "Well until we get things sorted out you can stay here. Right Brian?" Craig said. I nodded she smiled and hugged both of us.

     "Thanks guys," she said. She put the ice cream back in the freezer and yawned a little.

     "Get some rest," I said. She nodded. She sat her phone on the table and turned her ringer off. Before we even turned the light off she was asleep. I got a text on the group chat.

T: "has anyone seen Parker. I'm getting worried,"

     I frowned as I read the text. Things didn't add up. If he kissed the girl why was he worried. I messaged him privately, and I sat in bed with my back against the wall.

B: "she is at me and Craig's hotel room. What happened at the club. She was really upset. She called me crying to pick her up!"

T: "oh fuck. This girl that was at the club tried to flirt with me. And you know me I would not cheat on Park. Well she looked around and then suddenly KISSED ME. I heard footsteps running away and by the time the girl got off of me I didn't see anything. I guess Park saw that then. FUCK she probably thinks I kissed that girl. I'm the worst. I guess I better get back to the hotel. I'm glad it's not far as I am not exactly sober. I mean I'm sober enough to not kiss someone. But yeah. I've had a few drinks. See you tomorrow dude,"

B: "Be careful. See you then,"

     I rubbed the back of my neck. At least he didn't cheat on her. If he did I would had beaten him in to a pulp. Parker is my friend and I am not letting anything happen to her.

///the next morning///

     I was shaken awake by Craig who was quietly watching the news. I looked at the tv and my heart dropped.

     "Early this morning there was a crash on Front Beach. A man was hit by a car while he was walking on the side of the road. A woman said that he saw the car and pushed her and her friend out of the way," the news anchor said. Parker was sitting up in shock.

     "The hero is part of the Banana Bus Circus. He is the animal trainer who goes by wildcat," the anchor said. I looked over at Parker who had tears streaking down her face.

     "Get me to my hotel now. Craig watch Cas," she said. She pointed to the harmless snake on the table. Craig nodded. I put on some actual clothes and grabbed my keys.

     As soon as we got there she jumped out of the car and ran inside. Five minutes later she came out holding a bag and a helmet. She ran up to the car.

     "Put in Bay Medical Hospital in your phone and follow the gps," she said. Before I could reply she was already on her motorcycle strapping on her helmet. She pulled out of the parking lot driving in between cars and fast. I grabbed my phone and got on to the group chat.

B: "Tyler got hit by someone last night. He is in Bay Medical hospital,"

   I pulled out of the parking lot.
